they are doing just fine in this economy. the people having a hard time right now are middle income americans. they have been buried. they are just being crushed. middle income americans have seen their income come down by $4,300. this is a tax in and of itself i'll call it the economy tax. it has been crushing. at the same time gasoline prices have doubled under the president, electric rates are up food prices are up health care costs have gone up by $2,500 a family. middle income families are being crushed. and the question is how to get them going again, and i described it energy trade, the right kind of training programs balancing our budget, and helping small business. but the president mentioned a couple of other ideas. first education. i agree. education is key. but our training programs right now, we have 47 of them housed in the federal government reporting to eight different agencies, we have got to get those dollars back to the states and go to the workers so they can create their own pathways to get in the trainin

do you think we should build the economy from the middle class out like the president does or the top down like mitt romney does? >> credit ben labolt, thanks for joining us today. >> thanks. >> we say good morning to our tuesday political power panel. leah henderson, ted devine, senior strategist for al gore and john kerry. eugene robinson wrote in "the washington post" the challenges facing mitt romney in this debate, but going specifically saying romney's task is more difficult. for the umpteenth time he has to introduce himself to the american people and erase all the impressions of the mitt romney we met earlier and reveal a coherent person, one voters can imagine as a leader. is this debate more romney against himself? critics paint him displaying this flaccid leadership. >> he has to present himself as a president who would represent all americans. he said that several times. he's practicing that debate line. here again, even when he engages with that comment, it reminds people of that 47% remark. you see him over the last couple of days. i think it was today there is an interv
